Consoles vs PC
- Thread started by LEGEND67
While on PC you can get higher/much higher quality graphics and performance with powerful enough PC + mods stuff I still picked Consoles as the best for gaming overall because with consoles you don't have to worry about how well will the game run -- even with powerful enough PC, there's no guarantee that the game will run good, like without stutters or heavy fps fluctuations or unstable fps or other issues-- or how well will the pc port be, game's settings and stuff and all that for each and every game. With Consoles you just "Plug and Play". while some games on consoles may have some issues too, in general, most of them run good enough from the get go. Some of them take advantage of the consoles' capabilities fully and in the most efficient ways (code wise) like FF7 Remake and Spidey on PS4, a hardware specific metal level coding cannot be done on PC, because too many possible PC hardware configurations. Consoles are a lot cheaper than building a powerful gaming PC. a powerful graphics card like the RTX 3080 will cost you US$ 699 or the RTX 3070 US$ 499 and that is just for the GPU/graphics card, consoles will cost you only US$ 399 - US$ 499 or maybe for the pro version US$ 599++ for a complete gaming machine. Plus no SSD for PC currently has PS5's excellent SSD speeds and the capabilities to read from it like it's a "RAM" with the custom I/O controllers.

I feel if you want the best gaming experience, a Gaming PC will offer the best visual experience on a 4K monitor. But, you will end up paying a lot of money for a Gaming PC and 4K monitor.
A PC may also be a good choice for someone who don't have a lot of money for Gaming because many PC games cost under $60 or are free like Fortnite and Dota 2 in some cases. There are also cheap $200 to $400 desktop computers which are fast enough to play some games on low to medium video quality settings.

There’s long been budget console games under $60, or if you wait a bit, you can get a AAA title for $20, and after they implemented downloadable games on consoles, they have free games

The main benefits of a console are simplicity and game compatibility. When you buy an Xbox game, you are basically guaranteed that it will work with your Xbox. The console also do not have much in the way of hardware or software that can be configured, no graphics card drivers or anything similar to be tinkered with. Basically, install your game and off you go! On the other hand, consoles typically aren't a good value. They do a handful of things, mostly related to gaming and other media. You can't really use them to do school work, file your taxes or anything along those lines.
The main benefits of a gaming PC are power, backwards compatibility, and flexibility, especially if you plan on assembling your own rig. You can pick and choose each and every component that goes into the machine to match your budget and intended level of gaming perfectly. Plus, there is quite a bit of fun to be had in bringing your very own rig to life! Some drawbacks to a PC gaming machine are complexity and price. Many people don't want to spend the time and effort in researching benchmarks and other performance data. There are tons of charts, numbers, and graphs out there and often the hardware manufacturers themselves will purposely cherry-pick data to make themselves look good. It can get overwhelming very quickly. On top of that, the up-front price for a solid, long-lasting gaming rig can be intimidating especially for first time builders. Additionally, there is the hassle of returns and exchanges if you happen to have a non-working part.

Another Benefit of PC is that users can choose to install different computer operating systems on their PC to play games and software which only work on older versions of Windows and different Linux base OS.
There are also more than one digital PC game store like Steam, Gog, Epic, and EA Origin.
Users can also use an Google Android virtual machine program like Bluestacks to play Android mobile games on a PC with a keyboard, mouse, and controller.
